Great News! OSU is currently offering an <strong>Electric and Hybrid Vehicles (ECE 438)<\/strong> course this fall. It has been the most popular course for ECE majors in years past and is usually offered in the spring. There are only 10 students registered for the course offered this fall and it has a capacity of 55 so there is plenty of room. The only prerequisites for this course are ENGR 202 and ENGR 212. Hope to see you this fall.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2540\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2540\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2540 \" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/ecologue\/files\/2012\/09\/EV-Expo.jpg\" alt=\"Electric Vehicle Expo\" width=\"310\" height=\"438\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Electric Vehicle Expo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The OSU Solar Vehicle Team is a group of OSU students, staff, and faculty working together to design, build, and race solar-powered vehicles.
